Learning Intentions:
WALT classify energy sources according to sustainable & non-sustainable properties.
WALT describe how sustainable energy technologies work in order to answer our big question.
WALT identify the material features that contribute to an energy efficient house.
WALT conduct a fair test.
WALT see issues from different points of view.
WALT follow a set planning process to create our own energy generators.
What is electricity?
I think it comes from the (sky when it rains then litling come and zaps stuff to give it electricity)
g.c
Electricity is power that makes some things work and it's not good to waste it. B.B
I think electricity is something we use to get to the world and power and light and heaps of other things L.H
I think electricity is power that is used to make light in bulbs and make things go. A.G.E.B
Electricity is power that costs a lot of money. [J.L]
Electricty or light can go faster than anything on Earth because when you turn the light on it pops up from the station to tour home just like that! (D.H.)
Elictricity can be power that generates around the world G.B
i think electricity helps peaple like veary sick and will die whith out electricity
Electricity is a lighting thing that come from the sky if it rains to hard it really bad to waste electricity cause then the world well have no warmth and nothing to cook food with and to watch T.V and to go on the computer and no one could see because the lights will go and electricity is inportanat..(B.S)
How is electricity made?
I think electricity is made in wind farms and the wind is generated to make power also the heat of the sun makes power. A.G.E.B
Electricity is made by raining so bad then lighting comes down thats is sort of electricity is made...B.S
I think electricy is made by energy K.W
Electricity is made from hydro dams, wind turbins, waves and other things (AR).
I think electristsy is made from the sun and the heat! C.R
I think elictricity is a power or heat travelling along power lines G.A
I think that electricticy is made from tiny little mega bites in the air G.B
i think that electricity is made from coal and a little bit of water (J.M)
How long have people used electricity in their homes?
I'm not sure but i think a long time A.G.E.B
I think that people have been using power for over 2,000 years C.R
I think they have been using it for about 1,600-NOW. (D.H)
I think that people have been using elicticity for about 1,650 years G.B
A VERY long time!C.M.
What are the advantages of electricity?
The advantages of electicity are that it is much easyer to light things up and other things (AR).
The advantegaes are That you dont have to light a candle every time you go into a room at night G.B
You need electricity to cook have light and do lots of things(A.G.E.B)
What are this disadvantages of electricity?
The cables can brake and thay can burn somone very badly and the posts can fall (JN)
The disadvantages of electicity are that it runs throw cables so it is not wierless and if there are big storms the cables are cut and there are power cuts (AR).
My disadvantage to elictricity is that some times you could have black outs.(D.C)
Me disadvantage is that it coasts a lot of money and the if a cable is cut you won't have elictricity.(A.Y)
The disadvantages of electricity is that it uses up a lot of energy which provides electricity. (K.W)
There can be power cuts when lots of people use to much power and the power cuts(A.G.E.B)
You could hurt yourself if a lot of water went onto electricityC.M.
How much do you think it might cost for the electricity in your house for one month?
I think it costs $400 a month to run electricity in your home (JN)
I think it costs about $200-$600 a month to run electicity in your home (AR)
I think it coast about $200- $100,00 a month to run elictristey in your home! C.R
I think electricity would cost about $200 if you dont use it much and about $500 if you use it alot. G.A
I think electricity in my house that has been used for a month would probably be over $476. (D.C)
At my house I think about $300-$400 a month.(A.Y)
I htink electricity cost about 1 thousand dollars per month in the winter in the summer it may cost less. (K.W)
I think it would cost at my mums $400-$500 dollars and dads $200- $300(A.G.E.B)
How many pieces of technology that use electricity can you think of?
Lots of things I my house is run by electricity so I would think a lot. (K.W)
I think about 20-40 things use eleciticity AR
Lots of things in my mums and dads house so quite a lot(A.G.E.B)
